Philosophy

Nurturing Potential. Igniting Passion.

We offer our students a scientific approach to education, based on the developmental needs of childhood and an understanding of how learning occurs.

All of our programs follow the Montessori method and are designed to help students develop a passion for learning and a strong self-image; achieve high levels of academic and social competence; and gain the confidence needed to face challenges with optimism and ability.

In a traditional educational setting, the goal is for students to merely master curriculum objectives. In a Montessori setting, the goal is to develop the tools for lifelong learning and community participation and leadership. We strive to not only teach students the answers, but to teach them what questions to ask.
